MATH 222
Quality 2/5Difficulty 4/5
Nice guy but hard professor. Makes class and subject hard. Tests have so much on them that he never teaches.

MATH 461
Quality 2/5Difficulty 3/5
Bing Wang is a pretty average math professor. His accent was easy to understand. He spends the entire class writing on the board and there is very little room for participation. He will answer questions, however, and this teaching style is common for math classes. He receives more criticism than he deserves but certainly isn't a great professor.

MATH 461
Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Bing has already improved a lot, since I have taken his class before. Notes are clear and the accent is fine to me. Exams are mostly based on homework and materials he mentioned in class. I would definitely recommend him.

MATH 319
Quality 2/5Difficulty 4/5
His English isn't that great and he has an accent so it is hard to follow his explanations in class. His actual work on the board is clear at least. Tests were very difficult.

Quality 2/5Difficulty 4/5
Bing Wang is difficult to understand, though the accent isn't as terrible as his teaching. His few examples that actually help you learn the material do little to help with his exams. Not a well structured course and not the professor to take it with.

Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
Bing Wang is ridiculous. Sets the average to be a BC and makes the test very hard. Does not even allow a note card in the exam and makes the final cumulative. Do not take in any case
